Recently, Lin Yun, the actor of "The Mermaid" Shanshan, celebrated her birthday with fans in Shanghai. At the birthday party, Lin Yun revealed that Stephen Chow’s "Mermaid 2" will be released this summer, and her role modelling is similar to the previous one. There will be earth-shaking changes. Whether "Mermaid 2" can become Star Master's next classic, it seems that many netizens are a little worried.
Looking back at the movies of Stephen Chow in the past, it is inevitable that people are sighed: We have watched so many films of Master Star for so many years but have never bought a ticket. If you thank Master Star, you should buy a ticket to support it. This is one of the reasons why the "Mermaid" filmed by Stephen Chow has attracted much attention, but the audience will inevitably be disappointed after watching it. The storyline of "The Mermaid" can be said to be very concise, with contradictions and conflicts. It can be regarded as a fairly modest script with laughs and highlights, but it is hard to think that this is a movie made by the star.
"Mermaid" lacks the meaninglessness of Hong Kong drama, and naturally loses the soul of the star. There are only gorgeous costumes, exaggerated expressions, and godless eyes in the play. This is like scratching through boots. Every character is desperately trying to make the audience laugh, but after a single shot, there are very few laughs. In addition, the emotional development of the male and female protagonists was too rapid, and the final rescue seemed a bit perfunctory, and the ending was slightly hasty. Look at Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy". It is said that this movie was only shot for a month, and then it was released in a hurry, because the later stage of "Mermaid 2" is really endless.
Stephen Chow's "New King of Comedy", like "Mermaid", still lacks the soul of the star. When half of the audience sees it, they can't help asking: Is this really a movie made by Stephen Chow? Although this drama is somewhat similar to Indian superstar Amir Khan’s "Mysterious Superstar", half of the whole drama is playing old terriers, half is "paying tribute" to his past movies, and even paying tribute to his past soundtrack, Star Lord Is Jiang Lang really exhausted?
Why do everyone like Stephen Chow's movies? Because of his style and his acting skills, who hasn't been amused by the star who laughed? How many people have been fancied by the two "Moonlight Treasure Boxes" that can be called gods? It is said that the pinnacle of Star Master is "Kung Fu". When everyone is looking forward to "Kung Fu 2", we see movies like "Mermaid" and "New King of Comedy". Star Ye also promised to shoot "Kung Fu 2", but not a sequel.
Maybe the audience is more looking forward to the movie infused with the soul of the star, rather than the simple and old story. "Mermaid 2" is still a big-produced special effects comedy blockbuster. With star lineups such as Allen and Wu Yifan, it may be a bit difficult to surpass "Mermaid"'s 3.386 billion yuan box office. Because of the previous movies, the audience went to return a movie ticket to Master Xing. If Master Xing’s "Mermaid 2" can bring more surprises to the audience, then "Kung Fu 2" surpasses the pinnacle of Master Xing's work "Kung Fu" "Just around the corner.
